Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Xiao Caoer looked at the invitation in surprise, and after a moment's hesitation, she took it. She slowly unfolded the invitation and read every word carefully. It was really an invitation to attend the palace banquet.

"This...this is actually an invitation for me to attend a palace banquet?" Xiao Cao'er muttered softly, "Why would the Queen Mother think of inviting me? Should I go or not?"

After Xiao Cao finished muttering, she raised her eyes cautiously and glanced at Qi Xingyun. At this moment, Qi Xingyun happened to catch her gaze, and he raised his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile and said: "If you want to attend this palace banquet, then go; if you don't want to, you can choose not to go, everything depends on your preference."

To be honest, Xiao Caoer had seen many grand scenes of palace banquets on TV, but those were just pictures after all.

And the last time she escorted the little princess back to the palace, she only took a quick glance at the general appearance of the palace.

To say that she actually participated in such a palace banquet in person was like a young lady getting into a bridal sedan - it was her first time!

But on second thought, I will inevitably have to attend such banquets more frequently in the future, so I might as well take this opportunity to go with them to broaden my horizons, or treat it as an advance training and experience.

So, after a brief thought, Xiao Cao'er finally said, "Okay, then I'll follow you into the palace to have a good look."

Then, as if she suddenly thought of something important, she added hastily, "But if so, I have to prepare some clothes and jewelry, so as not to lose face in front of the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, Qi Xingyun immediately nodded in agreement and responded, "Don't worry, I have already told the embroiderers in the mansion to prepare. All the items will be delivered to you later. In addition, let Miaoyin follow you and serve you attentively."

New Year's Eve is the day for the annual grand palace banquet. Since many officials and their families have to participate in this banquet, most families will hold their family reunion dinner in advance on New Year's Eve.

The Yang family was no exception, after all, there were five people in the family who had to attend the palace banquet! For this reason, all the shops under the name of the Yang family had posted notices of closure two days ago.

Early in the morning, when it was still hazy, the Yang family had already started to get busy. The young men living in the old house also gathered here early, all of them were energetic and full of energy.

Xiao Caoer got up early and put the carefully prepared abalone and taro pork into the pot and stewed them again. She spent a lot of time and effort to make these two dishes, and each dish was full of deep blessings and love for her relatives and friends.

Moreover, the food delivered this time was very comprehensive. Not only were the close neighbors able to appreciate the thoughtfulness, but even several distant relatives were not forgotten.

When each household received these two large servings of fragrant dishes, they were all stunned at first, then they showed smiles of surprise and joy, and a warm feeling surged in their hearts.

After all, this is the capital! Whenever there is something good, there will most likely be a banquet, inviting three or five close friends to come together and taste and appreciate it leisurely.

However, it was the first time that they could receive fully cooked dishes directly like today! Everyone couldn't help but feel fresh and curious.

Fortunately, these people have a clear mind and know exactly what kind of family the Yang family is.

Otherwise, faced with such an unusual behavior, gossip would have already started flying around!

But then again, it was not until everyone actually tasted these two dishes that they suddenly realized - no wonder the Yang family only sent two bowls of each dish!

It was because the taste was simply amazing! These people had eaten all kinds of good food, but the dishes they received today were really to the liking of the old men and old ladies, making them praise the food and feel satisfied.

The next day, which was New Year's Eve, the entire capital was immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere. On this day, a grand palace banquet was held in the palace, and dignitaries and prominent families were invited to attend.

Da Mao and Er Mao, dressed in gorgeous clothes, carefully supported Old Lady Yang, followed closely by Li and the lovely Xiao Cao'er. The group was very impressive and arrived at the palace gate on time as agreed with Zheng Huaming in advance.

When the Yang family arrived, they found that Madam Zheng had been waiting there for a long time. Not only that, but there were also many other people who were also invited. For a while, the palace gate was crowded with people and very lively.

When everyone arrived at the palace gate, they began to line up in order according to their status to prepare to enter the palace. The guards in charge of the inspection worked meticulously, carefully checking everyone's personal belongings to prevent anyone from bringing prohibited items into the palace.

At this moment, a group of guests with more distinguished status came from behind. Some people who were originally in the front line had to quickly move aside and respectfully let these distinguished guests pass first.
